Well thanks for giving it an honest try. I didn't turn you on to a new artist but seeing you give credit where credit's due to an artist I like means lot too. As for me to get into Jimmy Smith it was a shoe in, because I was fan of Steve Winwood first (not to mention a few other keyboard/organ players) so it wasn't too far of a step for me.

There is are very little I know about the 20/30's but a few I heard I like. I think the biggest draw back for some to like the music of that era is the quality of recording equipment then.

But you never know...

I think that would make either be a great topic for a thread or some new sub-section of your journal.
